I don't see business in north Somalia apart from Dhiigshiil and Telesom. The next option is re-taxing the already narcotic business that was taxed by Ethiopia to the max.

What else is there? This Toyota talk is just another lie like all lies from Somaliland. It's just a small family car dealer based in tiny Djibouti not Toyota.

When you talk about Toyota, it has to be a plant or Toyota factory and in order for you to have that you need to be a developed nation with skilled workers, metal resources (cheaper than Japan/importing) and a country with good distribution and ports.

Most Toyota cars that make it to Africa and Middle Eastern markets are manufactured in Australia which has plenty of metals, so the Japanese said to themselves, why import it why not make it there and buy it directly and just export full cars.

The reason you have cars with steering on the right handside is because they from Australia which drives on the left side.

It is also worth knowing most Somaliland leaders and media adore the Ethiopians too much and think they are some sort of sacred thing even though Ethiopia keeps violating its borders.

Liyu police always cross into Somaliland and abuse people. They are inside Hargeisa collecting data and intelligence.

These folks are blind to all this. Take for example, this website did publish that news on the Somaliland guy winning some military recognition in the Ethiopian college.

Now look at Hadhwanaagnews/Sun:

Dawladda Itoobiya ayaa bogeeda wasaaradda arrimaha dibadda ku soo qaadatay sarkaal u dhashay Somaliland oo bilad dahab ah ku guulaystay ka dib markii uu kaalinta koowaad ka galay culuumta milatariga oo uu kaga jiray kuuliyad ku taala dalkaas.

And Sun takes the same news from DailyEthiopia
http://www.dailyethiopia.com/index.php?aid=1213

But DailyEthiopia just copied from Somalilandpress and just rearranged their article.

So how come they give credit to Ethiopians to something their own people wrote or made?

It's because they worship the Ethiopians too much. http://somalilandpress.com/somaliland-12-military…

Too many lies and too many foreign butt-kissing…its something any Somali with dignity should not be part of.

    habaarka wa lagu yaqanaa wixi amiinsan Somaliland but habar/cursing always goes back to you and I don't have that kind of hate to wish you nothing but success under a prosperous Somalia. I am not your enemy your enemy is the one telling you he is your friend, refuses to recognize you and instead sends Liyu police to rape your women and call your businesses "contraband".
